Guild Wars 2

Morian, you have said it all..agree completely.

I was really surprised in the difference between the chat in this game and other big games. I am glad that I don’t have to listen to immature idiots thinking they are ‘cool’ for using abusive language in chat just to try and impress their friends.

Well done Anet, I think you are doing a great job.

On another note, the lag this weekend has been awful – hitting skills and nothing happening – responsible for mass deaths due to me dropping a portal in a corridor and not in the lords room becasue I didn’t know where the hell I was..never had such bad lag

the reason I got that error was becasue I had reached the monthly limit coughs.

Sadly, even if you do have a good av/firewall, this will not stop everything. I work for a very big company and within the last month we have had 3 zero day viruses that have gotten through 4 layers of protection

I’ve just got the same message!

Thanks, but really do not want to multi box, the question was simply due to the annoyance of having to input the user details very time:) I guess it isn’t possible in the way I thought, so thanks for answering!

I love it. From Fractals to WvW to sPvP to World Events to PvE.

Best MMO anyone can imagine and hardly anyone on these forums can recognize that.

This!

I am still excited about logging into the game every day, just as I was at release. I love it.

I know parts of it won’t be for everyone, but you can’t please everyone all of the time – pleases me though

I am sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but you are not allowed to set up one key to perform more than one action.

Is it possible to set up two instances of the game on one pc? I don’t want to dual box – but I want to (since I have 2 accounts), have a launcher for each so I don’t have to keep entering my username/pw when I want to log in. Not a big issue, but if this is possibly would make things slightly less annoying.

Thanks

The problem is not the keep capping – if that happens it is either lazyness or unattentive players during a breech. The problem is usually portal bombing – and I agree (being a Memser myself) that it is a bit overpowered to be able to transport 60+ players.

10 people would make sense – it would still be good for capping a keep where a Mesmer hid + it will alow you to transport Golems + protection but it will not spawn a massive army with all resulting culling issues.

I see where you are coming from, but surely killing the mesmer will negate those issues mentioned? It’s not like it can’t be countered – it really doesn’t take long to do a quick sweep.

Thanks for the reply

yeah i like having fun but being zerged by 40 and hunted down till the last keep is gone oh well congrats tc eventually our server will be completely outmanned as everyone quits and hopes for a new match up.i like wvsw but like this its unplayable.sry and i know ill get a bunch of oh stop whining comments well whatever.

I disagree. Remember the match up before this one? We (FA)( had the whole map – it can’t always be like this and it won’t always be like this on any server.

I am a mesmer so may be biased – but I don’t understand how hard it is to run around your keep/tower and check for mesmers? I do this becasue I know what can happen

Hi there,

is it possible to have two accounts using one email address or would it be advisable to use a different email address for the second.

Thank you

The heart of the problem there though is that the ‘system’ as it is designed is highly against defending. Meaning there is no reward most times for many hours whatsoever. No gold, no karma, no xp, not even any fun. What happens is that you spend a night chasing after some camps if your lucky which is irritating at best.

It’s true that Arenanet has done an awful job with the WvWvW rewards as only mindless zerging gets you personal rewards, but I also blame the mindless zerg people for ruining WvWvW. Why should there always be personal gain in everything you do? WvWvW is not about karma and exp, it’s about your server.

I was on a server that had too many selfish people running around in zergs going after easy karma/exp all day long. No one cared about defending, scouting, escorting yaks etc. The best example I can tell you is that one day I was defending a fully upgraded tower alone, but I was doing fine because the enemy zerg was small and the tower was full of supply. I asked for help in the chat but the response I got was “chill out, let them take it, we will take it back later for easy karma!” My jaw hit the floor. We could have saved the tower if at least 3-4 would have come. But no. I lost all my will to fight for a server like that.

Fortunately not all servers are like that though. I transfered to Yak’s Bend last week and boy has it been a completely different experience. YB is full of great and unselfish people staying behind doing all the “boring” but necessary stuff like escorting Dolyaks, staying on watch in our towers, running supply and staying on a treb for hours. I love it, I really love it here! These YB people realize that WvWvW is not about personal gain, everyone fights for their server. And that’s why YB is doing fine even though TC and FA have more people (I’ve seen the outmanned buff on EB way too many times…).

So in conclusion, some blame goes to Anet for only rewarding mindless zerging in WvWvW but much more blame falls on people who don’t either understand WvWvW or just are in it for the personal gain. Unfortunately people in general are like that these days, everyone knows about their rights but no one seems to have any responsibilities. You can see that clearly in GW2 and WvWvW with too many people running after karma/exp and not caring if anyone remains behind to defend.

/end of rant

Oh and I almost forgot to say that I’ve never had this much fun in WvWvW than I’m having right now. Looks like our tiny EU guild has found a permanent home in YB if I just can get my other guildies to transfer here.

I had the same experience. My previous server would actually yell at people for upgrading towers because it slowed down how quickly the other side could flip it. So, about a month ago my guild decided to change to TC and try out a server a bit higher in the ranks, and we have never looked back. Much like Yaks, TC has a great deal of unselfish people who defend locations and put their money into upgrading.

^^ is the difference between FA / TC / YB. The reason FA BL gets attacked more than YB BL is because it’s easier to take. FA doesn’t hardly defend it. Going to YB BL you know you will have a fight on your hands, no matter what hour of the day it is. I assume TC BL is much the same since I see a lot of people defending it often while I bounce through it to check it’s chat and see how it’s going.

Indeed! The evening (my evening as I am in the EU), FA were in the lead, some kind soul(s) had ugraded everything to the hilt, which, even though we were not defending much, meant the towers didn’t fall right away and we had time to stop them from being taken. This is how it should be played

^^ please don’t generalize – there are, what, 4 people from FA who have been whining? The rest of us don’t ..thanks

In an old mmo I played, if someone did that, the next time they logged on they had a ‘chicken’ title for 10 minutes.

Oh dear…nothing to see here folks, sorry about that

we just lost the keep…

also, after managing to upgrade umber and forify durios and lay out siege, despite the annoying little band of yaks..we got steamrolled by TC after they took the keep lol

/cries

We just lost keep shakes fist at tc

and here ther other:

here ya go:

Some pretty intense fights yesterday evening eu time We were determined not to give you Golanta and I loved you all coming over the bridge TC – lots of loot bags for me using the arrow carts

One thing we need to do on FA, though, is to leave some defenders in the towers we take to upgrade and deploy siege – too manty times we take a tower only to have it retaken a few minutes later due to not doing the above .

A shout out to the very nice people on this server though, having a blast with you all

Tang Gluth (Asg)

Really? I’m not sure if it was your group, but yesterday during EU time I remember flanking Golanta while you (you as in FA, not you specifically!) and a few TCers were playing the ‘lure’ game, after you guys decided not to look behind the logs, I took down 5 of you thinking you were safe with the vets, after that, we took back Gol with ease and killed the ACs behind the shed. Maybe a different group – we lost Gol a few times yesterday.

Had some seriously intense fights so far this match up, it’s been a lot of fun. Also, TC, it’s not over yet, but I’m seriously proud of you guys for closing the gap and pulling out into the lead after being behind around 6k points.

Yeah wasn’t my group, I was mostly in the keep… sometimes tried to get the pack cows back from the camp..was good fun

I am on FA on my mesmer (Tang Gluth) and I have to say I have been impressed by DH not giving up at what seems to be such disheartening odds. I have also enjoyed some 1v1 fights and got my kitten handed to me on a plate by a warrior whose name I have sadly forgotten.

You are keeeping us on our toes with your sneaky 5 man camp and tower caps

Hi,

I sent an invite to two friends for the free trial. Their emails state the trial runs from 16th – 19th – the site states the 15th – 18th. Anyone know which is correct?

thanks

Just taken a look and very helpful, thanks for doing this

Can’t wait for tonight..haven’t been on for 2 days due to an ITIL course that’s making my head explode…exam today and then back to the massacre

What a great line up

Score so far..fun fun

The hallway was a lot of fun – didn’t know if I was alive or dead for a while

I know there is a lot of talk about people moving to the winning servers..but in all honesty, I don’t like being a part of a ‘faceroll’ server as much as I don’t like being a part of a server that has no chance..

I almost (note: ALMOST) feel sorry for fights where I am in a group of 30 people and we stumble on a few defenseless invaders and run straight over them.

I am sure most people would prefer to be a part of evenly matched teams and fights that make you feel good after seemingly overcoming odds against you or at least a 50/50 chance of a win/loss.

Being part of a server that constantly controls the whole map is boring, boring, boring…

Sounds interesting – we are a 3 man guild, brother sister and dad from the UK..will jump on and check it out
